Evening all,
We will be leaving the UK at the end of August. We have long wanted to get a dog, and I’m very unsure of whether it’s be more sensible to get a puppy now, in the UK, where I could research breeders etc and trust our local vet, or wait until we are in our new home abroad. There are plenty of dogs there, rescues and puppies, but I guess I can’t be sure of pedigree/animal rights etc there.
Is 4 months long enough to train a puppy, would it be too young to travel or cope with the air journey? There is no quarantine to do which is a bonus I suppose.
Any initial gut reactions in this from dog owners? I had a dog as a child but have never owned one before, plenty of cats, fish and hamsters but understand that a pup is a completely different ball game.
Oh, and I suppose that but is important, we would like a puppy.
really appreciate any thoughts.
thanks
